La Boca and Palermo

Victoria took me to see the museums but they were closed, so we went to La Boca, by the port where the Tango originated- houses are made from corrugated iron and painted bright colours, lots of restaurants and tango dancers outside. Also stopped at the monument tower (name changed from 'British tower' after the falklands :/) which has a bell made like Big Bens and the chime is the same :)
Went to Palermo in the evening, a posh area, lots of nice shops and restaurants- had israeli baba ganoush and falafel and then went to a bar where we had chips caked in paprika, which Nora perfectly described as like eating red dust. Quality of some foods (not beef!) not good here - ie spices, tea, flour, cheese - anything that has to be processed...generally has no flavour :(Read more
